FACULTY
RESEARCH PROFILES
Since its inception in 1993, Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) has always put special emphasis on the role of research and creation of knowledge to ensure high-quality teaching and service to the students, community and profession. Research is therefore an integral part of IUB’s studies, and the students are encouraged to engage in innovative research projects very early in their academic lives under the guidance of the faculty members.
Under the Sponsored Research Policy, IUB faculty members apply for competitive research and start-up grants. All projects must first be approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to ensure that they meet the research ethics standards. IUB is
a subscriber of the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) in the United States and all Principal Investigators must complete an online CITI Course before they can apply for IRB’s clearance. The IRB-approved projects are subsequently evaluated by the school research committees and submitted to the University Research Committee for a decision. IUB has been among 11 Bangladeshi universities that have been included in the QS Asia Rankings in 2021, securing the 5th position among all eleven, and the 3rd position among the private universities.
In addition, based on one of the criteria, i.e. Number of Citations per Paper, which is an indicator of the impact of research, IUB has been ranked as number one in Bangladesh and number 9 in Asia.
